I don't know what's happened to me but I seem to be having an obsession with everything nude at the moment. Seeing that spring has decided not to show up, I can't really get into neons or florals just yet mainly because they only remind me how cold it is and how far away summer seems! Nudes on the other hand, are great all year round going with everything,matching most colour palettes (e.g darks, brights, prints and pastels).I also find that they contrast nicely but subtly with dark skin as white can be a little over the top in winter.

I couldn't resist these beautiful loafers from ASOS to add to my nude essentials (which I'm making a conscious effort to build up in time for summer). I have similar ones in black which are still getting good wear, so thought these would be perfect to go with light denim or coloured jeans, cute little dresses and even jean shorts. I'll just have to be careful not to get them dirty and keep them away from rain and mud ( famous last words) Do you like?

I've really made a conscious effort not spend most of my lunch hours adding to basket on ASOS but I couldn't stay away for too long! Seeing as spring doesn't seem to be making an appearance any time soon I thought I'd cheer myself up with a new purchase. Generally, I'm not a huge fan of velvet. It's a personal preference but I find the heavy fabric unflattering on me and very hard to wear. This top however caught my eye with its cotton velvet baroque panel, and roll neckline.The red is striking and perfect to wear with black jeans or leggings to add a splash of colour. I am yet to wear it out and a little nervous about being able to pull it off, but every now and then you have to step out of your comfort zone. What do you guys think? you like? x

Very exciting times peops, got my self a new pair of boots! Yes I may have a shoe addiction but these really needed to be purchased I swear. I have been looking for a pair of short flat boots for a while and all I saw last winter was Chelsea boots galore. I like them on other people but I haven't the smallest of feet and not the skinniest so found they looked a bit chunky on me any time I tried them on. These Chloe inspired ankle boots are much more my style with their studded silver tone embellishment and almond shape toe. I love the fact that they can funk up any outfit and are so versatile. I'm so going to overdose on them as they literally go with everything in my wardrobe from my skater dress, skinny jeans, disco pants, leggings, shorts and a play suit.What do you think?

I wasn't blessed with naturally long lashes so I'm always on the hunt for the newest miracle mascarato give me extra length and volume.I usually have to apply three coats to even look like I'm wearing anything so when a friend of mine raved about the Benefit 'They're Real' mascara, I thought I'd give it a go. I did a bit of research beforehand and when I found out how many rave reviews it had got everywhere else, I was even more convinced to try it out. I have to say that for me, this mascara has really worked and I am impressed with results.They lift and lengthen my lashes while curling them at the same time, and actually bring them to life. I also think that the brush is really good at separating lashes so they don't end up clumpy but still create a thick but natural look.One coat is perfect for daytime and two for when I'm out in the evening. I don't think that they're a replacement to false lashes and I still need to use my curling tongue before I apply, but I really do rate this mascara. I had bought the mini version to test it out and it did last me about 3 months ( mainly because I don't wear make-up everyday ) so have splurged on the bigger £18.50 version. Let's see how I get on with this one.

Happy Friday! I haven't done a 'girl Friday' post for a long while, mainly because I have been slack with my work wardrobe of late ( the cold makes me not carreee!) I can literally wear anything I want ( yes lucky me) unless I have a client meeting or event so most of my work wear consists of leggings, jeans, chunky jumpers, tights and my trusted pair of converse. I don't even bother with make-up and have a collection animal inspired hats (for the bad hair days). It's safe to say that I'm more of a 'casual/laid back' kinda girl in work world ...except on Fridays.Fridays are the days I remind my self that I am actually into fashion, stick on some heels, put some slap on and make an effort. Hopefully the 'girl Friday' posts will motivate me even more to glam up at least once a week!Today I have gone for my newly purchased ASOS polka dot print shirt which I put together with my AA disco pants,shoe boots from.... Primark , favourite H&M necklace and Zara city bag. I love the shirts front pleating, cuffed sleeves and fitted hem which meant I didn't need to even tuck it in at the back, avoiding too much gathering.The polka dot print reminds me of spring and has got me excited about launching my summer wardrobe, holiday clothes and sunshine!

About Me

Hello, thanks for visiting my blog. I started this blog in 2011 mainly because I'm a bit of a shopaholic. I'm always picking up one thing or another and thrive on hunting down a bargain. The name actually came about because of people commenting on my clothes and asking me, 'where did you buy that?' I'm a cross between an investment buyer and a bargain hunter and mixing the two is what I love to do the most.
